Liberal groups to spend $7 million to flip state houses

After watching Republicans quietly build power in school boards and state Houses across the country for years, progressive Democrats are ready to take a lesson from their rivals.
Two groups, Arena and Future Now Fund, are planning to spend $7 million to try to flip GOP-controlled state legislatures in Florida, Arizona, Michigan and North Carolina.
“If you look at where the important states are, the places most people are watching are the Electoral College to secure the White House,” said Daniel Squadron, co-founder of the Future Now Fund. “But the truth is that when you talk about the impact of 2020, electoral control of the state legislatures is critical.”
The organizations said their funding represents “the largest coordinated-side commitments to date in North Carolina, Michigan and Florida for the 2020 cycle.”

So, I met with the heads of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee and the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee this week, and they have largely the same targets. My concern is that they may all be duplicating efforts rather than spreading their resources.

Great to hear. I hope Dems organize a volunteer army to dig deep, carve the rePuticans out of every office across our land!
